The club meeting, which lasts about an hour and a half is divided into four segments: Announcements & Awards, Game Time, Handbook Time, and Council Time. During Announcements, clubbers receive their awards giving recognition of achievements. Playing games in AWANA, provide fun, exercise, and promotes good sportsmanship. During handbook time, clubbers progress through age-appropriate handbooks by memorizing and demonstrating an understanding of the Bible passages. The main feature of Council Time is a Bible lesson.
